Log into your Google Voice account on your laptop or desktop computer, not on a mobile device, and go here:

Make sure you have a check mark next to the newly-added Google Chat forwarding destination.

Hi Steve,

I just received obi200 and configured it via OBiTalk website. I deleted the OBiTalk device before and reset my devices. I tried to manually setup google voice via app password and it didn't work.

I re-setup obi via OBiTalk and it working fine.

My questions to you are following to understand what can be done.

1. Once the device is setup, Can I remove the device from OBiTalk website?
2. Will I be able to manage my device manually without OBiTalk i.e. firmware update and config changes?

Kindly advise, I don't want to keep my admin Password in ObiTalk website as its show in plain text.

Regards
Zroid.

Hi Zroid:

Yes, if you want to both use GV and manage your OBi via the local web page, vs. the portal:

If appropriate, remove any previous GV configurations that you had before the new, approved authentication method was released.Update your OBi's firmware to the latest version, if it isn't already at that level.Add GV as a service provider via the OBiTALK portal.Add, configure and manage your other service provider slots as desired, either via the portal or locally.Don't delete your device off of the OBiTALK website; just leave it as is.  If you were to delete it, the portal would send it a "reset to factory default command", which you don't want to happen, and, although you could go through some gyrations to prevent that, if you added it back again in the future, it might reset the device again.Not to get into a tangential security debate, but I wouldn't be too concerned about the admin password being displayed, as the site is secured by HTTPS with TLS 1.2 (the latest version) and 128-bit encryption.
